Seems like you are unusually busy in this thread. Normally the Greeks are able to stay above the fray and its us Latins who get in it.

The Orthodox usually follow Patriarch Jeremiah II's lead (derive from the New Testament): engage heretics three time and then leave them.

It's an admiorable quality, like being able to walk away form a slot machine while you are ahead. I have yet to leanr to tame my curiosity.

Someday, and I pray soon, we will be One Visible body again

Thank you. God willing.

It will always be a dark stain that not enough of us (just the Genoese) were with you at the Walls of Theodosius on that dark day in 1453. Someday, Hagia Sophia will reclaim her place as one of the pillar churches of Christendom, it just may have to wait till the Heavenly Jerusalem.
